Play: Next to Normal
In February, Verge Theater will offer an unflinching look at a suburban family struggling with the effects of mental illness.
Next To Normal, with book and lyrics by Brian Yorkey and music by Tom Kitt, explores how one suburban household copes with crisis and mental illness. Winner of three 2009 TONY Awards including Best Musical Score and the 2010 Pulitzer Prize, Next To Normal was also chosen as "one of the year's ten best shows" by critics around the country, including The Los Angeles Times, The Washington Post, Rolling Stone and The New York Times.
Directed by Todd Hoberecht, a stellar cast of local talent, featuring the incomparable Heidi Krutchkoff, will take audiences into the minds and hearts of each character, presenting a conflicted family's story with love, sympathy and heart. Dad is an architect; Mom rushes to pack lunches and pour cereal; their daughter and son are bright, wise-cracking teens, appearing to be a typical American family. And yet their lives are anything but normal, because the mother has been battling manic depression for 16 years.
There will be a talk back with the cast, director, and mental health professionals after the performance on Saturday, FEB 13th. We will also be offering a FREE student performance on Campus on Thursday, FEB 18th in Ballroom A at 7pm. There will be a similar panel talk back after this show.
